Thanks for visiting our fundraising page!
For the third year running Absoft is continuing to support local Aberdeen charity Cornerstone Community Care. This year Absoft is proud sponsors of the t-shirts, as well as continuing to sponsor the first leg of the journey from Aberdeen to London.
The 2008 Challenge will continue on the World Tour Theme set by the 2007 challenge. In its fourth year, the Cornerstone Cycle Challenge begins on Tuesday 23rd September for a grueling 21 day test of stamina, determination and teamwork. Our team of cyclists aim to cycle as far as they can on static bikes throughout the 21 day event.
The full tour is a 15,770 mile course which will take them from Aberdeen to London, across to Paris then passing through Dubai and Hong Kong and on to Moscow before ending up back in Aberdeen.
Absoft Managing director Ian Mechie is a keen cyclist himself who took part in an epic cross-country bike adventure in June 2007 to raise money for community projects in Africa.
He said: “This challenge is an excellent way for organisations and individual groups to increase their fitness improve their health and raise money for a good cause at the same time".
“Cornerstone carries out vital work in our community and we are pleased to be supporting them during the all-important first stage of the Challenge. We would urge other businesses to get behind Cornerstone and help with this worthy cause”.
Absoft has a team of 13 staff* competing and hope to hold a variety of fundraising activities within the office, including an international food recipe book, to collectively raise their sponsorship.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cornerstone Community Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor us now!
